Living with eczema can feel like an endless cycle of flare-ups, sleepless nights, and a shelf full of creams that only bring temporary relief. If you’ve cut out trigger foods, moisturised religiously, and still find yourself battling that relentless itch, the missing piece might not be in your skincare routine at all, it could be in your gut.
Groundbreaking research into the gut-skin axis is changing how we understand eczema. Instead of treating symptoms on the surface, we’re learning that long-term relief may come from nurturing what’s happening deep inside your digestive system. That’s where Avva comes in, a science-backed probiotic and prebiotic supplement created specifically for eczema and skin health.
The Gut-Skin Connection: More Than Just a Theory
For years, doctors noticed a link between gut issues and skin conditions, but now the science is catching up. A recent study published in Scientific Reports looked at 50 adults with active eczema and compared their gut-derived metabolites and “leaky gut” biomarkers with healthy individuals.
The results were clear:
-
People with eczema had distinct patterns of gut-derived compounds in their bloodstream.
-
The more severe the eczema, the more pronounced these gut health imbalances were.
This means eczema may not just be a skin problem, it could be a visible sign of deeper gut barrier dysfunction.
The Missing Piece: Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs)
Another key finding from the research: eczema sufferers had lower levels of specific short-chain fatty acids, especially caproic acid and isocaproic acid.
SCFAs are produced when good gut bacteria ferment dietary fibre. They’re essential for:
-
Strengthening the gut barrier
-
Calming systemic inflammation
-
Supporting immune balance
-
Promoting healthy skin cell turnover
Low SCFA levels mean the gut lining is more vulnerable, inflammation can spiral, and skin healing slows down.
How Avva Helps Restore the Gut-Skin Connection
Avva was designed with eczema sufferers in mind — to target exactly the gut health challenges revealed in recent research.
1. High-Potency, Targeted Probiotics
Each capsule contains 30 billion CFU of clinically studied strains, including:
-
Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37 – known for modulating immune responses and reducing skin sensitivity
-
Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 – supports gut barrier integrity and immune resilience
-
Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 700396 – promotes microbiome balance and nutrient absorption
2. Prebiotic Inulin for SCFA Production
Avva contains inulin, a natural prebiotic fibre that feeds beneficial bacteria, especially Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, one of the most important SCFA producers for reducing inflammation. This helps restore those crucial gut-derived compounds linked to eczema improvement.
3. Gut Barrier Support
By fostering a healthy, balanced microbiome, Avva strengthens the intestinal lining, reducing the “leakiness” that allows inflammatory triggers into the bloodstream.
4. Immune System Balance
The probiotic strains in Avva work with your immune system to prevent overreactions that lead to eczema flares, while promoting calm, balanced skin.
Why Diet Alone Often Isn’t Enough
Yes, fibre-rich foods and fermented products are important, but they can’t guarantee the specific probiotic strains, CFU strength, or daily consistency your skin needs.
Avva delivers:
-
Reliable, targeted strains proven for gut and skin health
-
Consistent potency every capsule is packed with exactly what your microbiome needs
-
Dual action probiotics + prebiotics in one formula.
A Holistic Approach to Eczema
Instead of masking symptoms, Avva Skin & Gut works with your body to:
-
Support digestion and nutrient absorption
-
Rebuild and protect the gut barrier
-
Restore beneficial bacteria balance
-
Reduce systemic inflammation linked to skin irritation
This means your skin gets support from the inside out, for results that last.
The Science is Clear: Your Gut Health Matters for Your Skin
If you’ve been stuck in the flare-up cycle, it’s time to look beyond creams and explore the gut-skin connection. With Avva’s science-backed blend of probiotics and prebiotics, you can give your gut the tools it needs to support clear, healthy skin - naturally.
Peace for Your Skin. Calmer You.
